as i mentioned a while back, just for my own amusement, i started creating a small collection of limited and one-of-a-kind pieces based on leaves that i have found recently. here are the latest. the first is of the same larkspur leaf shape as in the first necklace, but the leaf form is significantly smaller in size. the second leaf was found in a box of baby spinach, oddly enough. i am not sure if it really is a spinach leaf or some sort of weedy field green that made it in with the rest of the spinach. either way, i found it quite lovely. both of the pieces are in oxidized sterling silver and prehnite. the leaf forms are sawed by hand using an 8/0 blade. more leaf designs to come once i figure out how to tastefully arrange some of the huge forms i have cut.
